Where Are Digital Options Still Available?

Availability Is Regional

Two people opening the same website from two countries can be shown different products, different account terms and different funding screens. That is normal in this industry, and understanding why makes the rest of the question tractable.

Availability questions feel like they should have list answers. Somewhere, the thinking goes, there must be a table of countries and products that someone has compiled. In practice the information that would populate such a table is held in three places that do not publish it in that form, and it changes at three different speeds.

Why one website shows different products

The product menu you see is the intersection of three inputs. First, the legal entity that would hold your account, which is determined by where you register and which has its own authorisation and its own terms. Second, the rules that apply to that entity and to a client like you, including how you are classified. Third, the operator's own commercial decisions - which markets it is set up to serve, which payment rails it supports there, what its support coverage looks like. Only the second of those is law, and the other two move faster.

The one restriction that is on the record

In 2018 the European Union introduced product-intervention measures that prohibited the marketing, distribution and sale of binary options to retail clients and restricted CFD leverage; national regulators later made equivalent measures permanent in their own jurisdictions. That is a market-wide measure aimed at an instrument class, not an action against any named firm. It is also the only availability statement this site makes without qualification, and it is about binary options rather than digital options - two products that are related but not the same, as the comparison page sets out.

Everything else is an entity question

What is available outside the EU and EEA depends on the entity the account is registered with and on local rules - the current product list is shown on the official site once you select your country. We do not publish a country list, a whitelist or a blacklist for digital options, and we do not state that they are or are not offered in any named country, because we hold no verified source for any of it. Saying that plainly is more useful than a confident list that turns out to be someone's guess.

• The entity sets the terms, the product menu and the funding options.
• Local rules sit on top of that and can narrow it further.
• Both are stated in documents you can read before you deposit anything.

Availability is set by an entity, constrained by local rules and finished by a commercial decision - which is why it resolves at sign-up rather than in any article about regions.

Outside the EU

Outside the European Union the honest position is that we do not know, and neither does anyone writing a country list from a distance. What we can do is show you where the answer is actually kept.

This is the section where most pages on this subject start inventing, and it is worth being explicit about the reason we do not. We hold no verified statement about which products are offered under which entity outside the EU and EEA, and we will not assert one in either direction. The wording we use everywhere is the same: what is available outside the EU and EEA depends on the entity the account is registered with and on local rules - the current product list is shown on the official site once you select your country.

Why there is no country list here

A country list is a snapshot of three moving variables, published without a date, by someone who was not in a position to verify any of them. It ages badly and it ages invisibly, because nothing on the page tells a later reader that it has gone stale. That failure mode is worse than an absent list, since a reader acts on the false one. Our position is that a method that stays correct beats a table that was correct once.

The entity behind an account

Every regulated brand of this kind sits above one or more legal entities, and the one that would hold your account is named in the terms you accept when you register. That name is the key to everything else: it determines which rulebook applies, which authority supervises the relationship, where a complaint goes, and what the product menu contains. The EU-facing business here runs through the Cypriot investment firm named on the public register; arrangements outside the EEA are different and are disclosed in the terms of the entity your account is registered with. The licensing page covers how to read those documents.

Local rules sit on top of the entity's offer

Even where an entity is willing and able to offer a product family, rules where you live can narrow what you are shown or how it is presented. Beyond the 2018 EU measure, this review cannot cite what any individual regulator has done, and scope, wording and current status differ by jurisdiction and change over time — so check the register or policy pages of your own regulator before acting. That sentence applies to binary options as an instrument class; for digital options specifically we make no jurisdictional claim at all.

The name of the contracting entity, taken from the terms rather than the homepage, is the single most informative thing you can learn before depositing - it determines the product menu and the rulebook at once.

Inside the EU

European retail accounts are the one case with a documented boundary. The 2018 measures removed binary options from the retail offer across the bloc, and that position was later made permanent nationally.

If you are opening an account as a retail client in an EU member state, the picture is clearer than anywhere else on this page - though clearer is not the same as complete, and the limits below matter.

What the 2018 measures did, and to whom

They prohibited the marketing, distribution and sale of binary options to retail clients and restricted leverage on contracts for difference for that same audience. The scope is three-part: an instrument class, a client category and a territory. The consequence for a reader is that a European retail account is built around other product families - forex and contracts for difference, described generically on the CFD page - and that older material describing a binary product for European retail clients is out of date rather than wrong about a different platform.

Digital options are not the same product

A digital option is structurally different from a binary option: the trader chooses a strike as well as an expiry, so the potential return varies with how far that strike sits from the current price rather than being one fixed figure known in advance. Risk is still known before entry. That distinction is real and mechanical, and the mechanics page works through it. What the distinction does not do is settle a regulatory question. Regulators write rules about product definitions, not about marketing names, and we make no claim that the structural difference places digital options inside or outside any specific rule in any specific country.

Saying plainly what is not confirmed

For European retail clients we can state the binary-options position because a market-wide measure exists and is quotable. We cannot state, and do not state, what any entity currently offers to European clients beyond that - the product menu on the funding and trading screens is the record, and it is dated by the fact that you are looking at it now. If you want the current answer rather than a description of one, check the current product list on the official site: the country selector on the operator's own site resolves in seconds what no third-party page can keep accurate.

Inside the EU, one boundary is documented and everything else is still a live product-menu question - which is why even the clearest region on this page ends with a look at the live screens.

Other Regulated Markets

Every version of this question eventually reaches Britain, the United States, Australia and Japan. Each has an authority that publishes its own answer, and this section names them and stops there.

As above, this review names no individual regulator's rule beyond the 2018 EU measure. We have not read these authorities' documents either and will not characterise them, so what follows is a map to the sources rather than a summary of their contents.

Where the British and American answers live

Readers in the United Kingdom check the Financial Conduct Authority's own pages. Readers in the United States check the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's, and depending on how a contract is characterised, the Securities and Exchange Commission's. In each case two sections do different jobs: the register tells you whether a named legal entity holds a permission and what it covers, while the policy and consumer sections carry positions on product categories.

Australia and Japan

Readers in Australia check the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's own pages, and readers in Japan the Financial Services Agency's. One practical note for any jurisdiction whose primary language is not yours: the authoritative text is the one the authority publishes in its own language, and an English version may be a summary or may lag the original.

Why the approaches do not line up

Statutes in different systems were drafted at different times, reach financial contracts through different categories, and give authorities different tools - product powers in one place, licensing perimeters or venue requirements in another. A position in one market therefore carries no information about the next one, and the instinct to generalise from the market you have read most about is the main source of confident errors here. The jurisdiction page takes that argument apart in more detail.

Name the authority, read its own words, and resist generalising from whichever market English-language coverage happens to describe most often.

Checking Your Region

Here is the part that actually answers your question. Four sources exist, each knows something the others do not, and used in the right order they settle availability for your country in about ten minutes.

Everything above is background to this section. The point of the page is that you leave able to answer the availability question for yourself, with sources you can re-check whenever you like, rather than trusting a list someone published once.

What each source can and cannot tell you

The sign-up flow as a test

The fastest instrument you have is the operator's own country selector. Select your country and read what changes: the entity named in the terms, the products presented, the funding methods offered. A flow that stops is itself information - it tells you the entity does not currently onboard clients from your country, which is a commercial and compliance outcome rather than a legal ruling, and it is the answer to the practical question even when it is not the answer to the legal one.

Reading the terms rather than the marketing

1. Find the legal or terms page and note the entity name in full.
2. Check what the terms say about which products are offered under that entity and to whom.
3. Look the entity up on your own authority's register, and read the scope of the permission rather than only its status.
4. Then look at the live screens, which override any description of them, this page included.

To see what the products actually are before any of this matters, virtual money is the cheapest route: open a practice account and read the trade ticket, where the contract terms are stated more plainly than in any article about them.

Treat every availability claim as dated

Entity arrangements, product menus and rules all change, and none of them announce it to the pages that describe them. Whatever you establish today, establish it again before acting on it months later - including anything you read here. Licence and company details on this site were checked against the CySEC public register on September 7, 2026; product availability changes by entity and country and should be confirmed on the official site.

Country selector, terms, live screens, your own regulator - in that order the availability question resolves itself, and the same four steps work again whenever you need to re-check.
